So a 2a could be a bugeye? I think I have one of those grill in my garage somewhere,,,
All bugeyes are 2a's made in late 68/early 69
The grille is unique in that the bottom is flat but the sides extend up such that there is no room for headlight placement on the breakfast.
The later, post bugeye, "Maltese cross" style grille is similar but the bottom is not flat - the grille is closer to a "plus" or clover.
Cedryk if you have a Bugeye grill, I'll gladly take it off your hands -would be nice to have spares! Lemme know if you'd part w.it.

This one back on eBay. Being sold by what appears to be a used car broker. Inaccurately listed as a 1965...

And SOLD! for $5100…
Interesting roof "skylights".. Mine had the same cutout in the driver side wingtop for clutch access..
Wonder if the new owner will know/care/learn that its a '69 not a 65?

I just purchased 24435681F from Steve Hoffman. It is now located in Denver, CO. It is not Marine Blue anymore :(. It has a rattle can camo paint scheme courtesy of the previous owner. I'm in the process of changing all fluids, full tune up including electronic distributor, full brake system including hoses, and working on getting the headlights and turn signals operable. This is a completely rust free example. I'm super excited to finally have a Series Land Rover. This is Land Rover number 4 for me.

Colin, are you also in the Denver area? There are several of us with Series rigs here.
The day I brought it home. Oddly enough, my kids LOVE the paint job -- me, not so much. Should be Marine Blue. One day it'll get painted.
